In just 10 days, Donald Trump is going to become the next President of the United States. And there is unconfirmed — but apparently credible — evidence that he will become Commander-in-Chief knowing that the Kremlin has some salacious details about him.

CNN aired a report earlier this evening (the video is embedded in this link) in which its reporters carefully discussed what the Kremlin might now and how U.S. officials found out about it.

Consider how the text-version of the story begins:

Classified documents presented last week to President Obama and President-elect Trump included allegations that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump, multiple US officials with direct knowledge of the briefings tell CNN.

The allegations were presented in a two-page synopsis that was appended to a report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.

CNN took what might be described as the high road, opting not to dive into some of the most disturbing claims about what the Russians might know about the president-elect.
